| All I'm getting is a barage of defensive replies.
So figure it out! Stop posting things that make people respond that way!
You can control this by not being obnoxious and negativistic about some-
thing that people really are here because they like. You approach people
the same way you approach Common Lisp, it seems. You think they ought to
be different from they are and you think people ask you to be different
so you defend yourself. But this is not what people here think or do.
People here are just so goddamn tired of whining losers who come in here
to talk about how hard it is to learn Common Lisp.
This is not about you. This is about your lack of focus on your task at
hand. You said you want to understand Common Lisp. Then do something
that is consistent with that claim. Do not defend yourself. Do not tell
people you think they are weird. Focus on understanding Common Lisp.
Can you do this?
